Council of Europe Calls for Respecting Migrants’ Rights Pending Deportation
The Human Rights Committee at the Council of Europe is demanding that five European Union countries provide full protection for the rights of migrants whose asylum claims have been rejected and who are planned to be deported under a system known as "repatriation centers." Reports indicate that these centers and the associated arrangements for transporting foreigners to third countries pose significant risks to human rights, including exposure to mistreatment and arbitrary detention. The Human Rights Commissioner has proposed four preventive measures, including a comprehensive risk assessment for violations before implementation, ensuring that plans are subject to strict legal and democratic oversight to guarantee the protection of migrants' rights. These actions come against the backdrop of rising anti-immigrant sentiment across Europe and the support of far-right parties, aiming to safeguard migrants' rights from potential violations during deportation processes.
